[@nancy4752]

I think stop researching is one of your best tips for me. I have been struggling with information overload, too many differing opinions on what is the right diet. This has me flip-flopping on my strategies and never really getting anywhere, actually gaining weight instead. So I will implement this and i feel pretty confident that it will make a difference to my progress. Thank you

[@wendywertz8828]

Omg same thing happened to me ! Type A personality in me kept looking for the best over & over instead of consistently slowly

[@johngiger1150]

I nearly started a similar site as yours but I felt the backlash from "mainliners" would intimidate me into quitting. I noticed the comments below and realized that more folks have supported your endeavor than I thought possible. My story is one year of intermittent fasting without keto or firm diet has resulted in the weight loss I needed. In fact, my 22/2 schedule is perfect for me and I will continue it for the rest of my life. I only change the calories per day to either maintain or lose during a given timeframe. By the way, I'm 80 years old and feel much younger and have never worried about longevity only being my best and being capable of change. Thank you for your efforts !

[@clbellue]

You're amazing John! Thanks!

[@SixMilesToSupper]

John, thank you so much for sharing that! I needed to wait until I had gotten the weight off and maintained that for almost a year before I felt comfortable posting about it on youtube. I know had I shared my journey as it was ongoing I'd have probably let people derail me. I've gotta say, I've been shocked by how much positivity and how little negativity I've found in the comments section. I try to remember to focus on the positive, and quickly forget the negative. (: If you'd ever like to be interviewed as a success story, I'd love that! You can email me at [e-mail] Also, I've started a podcast, so if you'd feel comfortable only with audio, I can do that too.

[@ninahajj4695]

John Giger hi John, what’s 22/2 schedule?

[@johngiger1150]

@@ninahajj4695 Nina, there are many such schedules from 16/8 to One Meal a Day (OMAD). I started having three meals a day with 18/6 and gradually cut it down to an eating window of two hours from 3 to 5 in the afternoon. It works for me and only occasionally do I not have time to eat my 1200 to 1500 calories during that period. By the way, remaining flexible is the key I believe. The goal is to start fasting in the evening, sleep 7-8 hours and fast during the day until the eating window. You have to keep hydrated and supplement with vitamins and minerals, but I found it easy after about three days or so. By the way, the calories are made up of 60% fat, 20% carbs and 20% protein on my diet but can be arranged in many ways. Personally, I try to watch the carbs on the nutritional labels and eat less than 125 grams per day. I've maintained my weight by understanding that carbs are the problem and for me avoiding "white colored foods" i.e. sugar, bread, rice, and potatoes is the key. You might Google "Autophagy" or "Dr. Jason Fung" for an analysis of the methodology. Lastly, I have avoided "Ketosis" due to its complexity and side effects. I hope this helps. Good Luck

[@ninahajj4695]

John Giger Yes, very informative. Thank you for taking the time to educate me 🙏🏾

I like how genuine she is - have watched 30 or so of her videos and is always full of nuggets of useful info. Much against her advice , hers besides Dr.Fung was the channel I watch on IF while I am doing this. I feel inspired watching her interviews with people who have lost weight through IF and are happy!! The most critical part of IF is the journey and it should make you happy - not just with the result, but the fullness of life that one is able to get to once they get on this journey. She always calls this out.

[@michellesweightlossjourney6599]

People need to turn their gadgets and tv off and go to bed by 10pm so they won't eat so much. I can IF easier simply by not eating after 7PM, going to bed by 9:30PM & eating my "breakfast" at 11AM the next day. That's an easy 16 hours of fasting. Do what works for you & stick with it.

[@marilynking4003]

I started on a low carb, high fat regime. Found myself feeling better each passing day. IF became easy to fall into with this. Cutting back sugar was my main goal. And I’ve done this. So over a month of an intense (for me) Keto regime, I realised that with the amount of travel I do and work lunches, I had to work out a way I could still lose weight slowly and eat healthy. Welcome to the world of IF. I usually stop eating at 8pm until 12pm the next day. And this works for me. I’m not watching the scales. I’ve had eating disorders in the past and I’m mindful of becoming fixated on numbers. So I just monitor what clothes start to fit better and my general feeling of wellness. It’s true that so many people talk about losing over 50kg etc with Keto and IF. But that is their unique journey. My Journey is mine alone, so I need to listen to my own body.

[@FaithB4Food]

I love this video, and I needed it more than you know. I constantly compare my results to others on keto and intermittent fasting and feel always like I’m doing something wrong. There are 1000 KZbin or’s out there stating that their way is the best way. It’s easy to second-guess yourself. I love your channel because of your positive attitude or you don’t tear anyone’s ideas down. Today I am documenting an attempt at 24 hour fast. I have been having a lot of issues past the 18 hour mark because my blood sugar dropped dangerously low. Once a month I tried 24 hour fast and each time my blood sugar gets better and better. I started out with 12 hours then went to 13 then went to 14 so on and so forth. Currently I am comfortably fasting at 18 hours a day. I have stalled for the last six weeks.

[@SixMilesToSupper]

That is great. That's how I did it too: I pushed my window out very very very gradually. Just listen to your body and have patience. You're doing great!

I have just started intermittent fasting here in the UK. I have been watching all your broadcasts, what a love about them the most is your honesty so please don't change that. I started the OMAD approach my husband thinks I am crazy but supports my choice, the man is a scheduled eater lol. I found the first few days pretty easy going, I loved the fact there was no calorie counting , no syncs, no Marcos, just your choice in the evenings as to what you wanted to eat. Thank god I watched your video today, I was struggling with no milk in my tea seemed to help me stay full during the day. But then another site said no milk , so I stopped big mistake I found myself hungry . So guess what taking your advice Whatever gets me through the day lol. Many thanks don't change your approach.

Thanks for this video, Kayla. You pulled together a lot of the concerns I've had floating around in my head. I have been OMAD since August, and have slowly and steadily lost 30 pounds. But I still eat carbs and have been beating myself up about it, even though I feel great, not deprived. I'm going to try hard to change my mindset and maintain patience as I hopefully lose another 20 pounds. OMAD is working for me-- that is the important thing!!! Merry Christmas!

[@SixMilesToSupper]

Merry Christmas, Melanie! That is awesome that you've already lost 30 pounds! Way to go! I'm so glad you're feeling great, and not feeling deprived. Thank you so much for sharing that. Sometimes people who eat carbs don't want to share that they're eating carbs, because they're afraid of the backlash, so I appreciate you being open about it. Keep going and stay patient. You'll get right where you want to be if you stay consistent.

I noticed as i travel this one meal a day journey, I have consistently improved my eating in general, much healthier now than at the beginning. I always have wanted to eat healthier, but it seemed sooooo veerrrrry hard, until the intermittent fasting. It seems to give me so much more willpower over my food choices. And i love that you are practical and do not treat your eating choices as if it is a religion, I see so many ppl acting like the way they eat has become their religion. i just want ppl to understand they can be healthier and there are plenty of us out here wiling to help them and not judge them.

I think you hit the nail on the head. When you've been overweight for a long time, you find something easy like IF and go "There is no way I can lose all this weight with just that." then you overcomplicate it, and then you fail. I remember feeling such guilt back in the day in previous attempts "Oh, I can't have all this sugar!!" then I threw it away and regretted every cent spent on the food I used to love... do really great for like 2 weeks, then one night out with friends eating pizza and the whole "plan" falls on it's face. If you can't live with your fitness/diet plan the rest of your life, it's not worth doing.

[@lizU-i4j]

Thank you so much for your videos. I started IF at the beginning of this month and I have been tweeking it. Since my kids get back from school between 3 and 4pm and I am a night eater, I put my eating window at 3-9pm. I start making food at 3pm, so I have my own meal at 3 and then cook for others. That way, while they are in school, there are no foods in sight and I am also full while I’m cooking. My plan is to stop eating at 9 but sometimes I go beyond 9 cos of schedule problems. I plan to push it to btwn 4 and 10pm. But so far I’m enjoying it.

[@alanazarin7761]

Since Six Miles to Supper asked, I love your video. My tip to make IF easier is to eat the same thing every day when you break your fast, or a series of things in same sequence. Eat low-carb, healthy foods that you want to be sure not to miss eating, and keep it very routine so you don't get too creative and eat more calories or carbs than you intend. For me, it's peanut butter on celery and baby carrots with hummus every day around 5 pm, with a mug of green tea. And then following that, a short break and then half cup frozen blueberries with about 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt and a tablespoon of chia seeds. I have these for appetizers while I start cooking dinner and then I go on to eat whatever dinner I want an hour or so later, no real restrictions. But by breaking the fast with a low-carb snack sequence and never varying what that is, it takes the guesswork out of it and prevents me from just munching on whatever is around and losing track of what I eat, which can be an issue for me if I've gone all day without eating and get in a mindset that I have to "be sure to get enough to eat."

Excellent video. I love it. So many great points here.

[@suegz139]

First video I watch for you, the topic got my attention. I hardly had weight issues over the years till the last few years (58 years now) I put on few kgs and finding it very hard to lose. Two years ago I tried a version of keto with IF (following mostly Dr Berg), but my cholesterol got worse and my Dr suggested Mediterranean diet. Though I usually am healthy and exercised I turned to have high cholesterol, which the Dr said could be family related. So now I find myself lost and in middle of nowhere, not knowing what is right. I somehow still follow IF since I find it easy, I stop after my last meal and eat the next day between 2 - 4 pm. In between I try to watch my carbs though not totally cut. But still can't lose even 1 kg and keep off, though I'm mostly looking to lose mostly 4 kgs. Will watch some of your videos in the hope of finding some inspiring tricks.

[@SixMilesToSupper]

I hope my videos are helpful. If you only have a little weight to lose (say less than 20 pounds), and you're at a normal BMI, I've found the weight comes off very slowly! (I lost my last 17 pounds at a rate of one third of one pound per week).

Thank you !! I am starting IF today. I have watched a few videos and found different info in each video. I am glad to find your video. I know if it sounds too hard, I will give it a try and then probably not be able to ' eat this then and don't eat this now' kinda stuff. Thanks for making it easier!

[@SixMilesToSupper]

You can do this!

[@celliehwyn]

So many great points! I turned to the OMAD way of eating because it simplifies my life schedule wise, it makes it so much EASIER on my day to day life. I like the idea of a cheat day on the weekends too! Awesome videos, I'm really enjoying your content!

[@BigMikesAMan]

I watched one episode on Fledge Fitness ' channel about autophagy and immediately went into a 20 hour fast on July 10 2018. I've been fasting every single day since. I love it.

[@SixMilesToSupper]

Awesome!

Hey buddy, can you tell me what your meal looks like?!

[@BrittBerryStrawberry]

Come back 6 mile lady! We miss you! I just started. I'm on day 3, eating from 11:30-4:30, 2 big meals. I love you! :)

[@firerose7936]

Thanks! I finished your video, but I'm on a 14 day media fast starting now! 🤗

[@normalopez2856]

Today is my second day of intermittent fasting and I love it. I also have been making healthier meals for me. Drinking unsweet tea during fast and coffee.

[@silvioruesjer8391]

great advice, thanks for posting

[@lisaharward2572]

Wow I really needed to hear this! Thank you so much!!

[@chrisporter2769]

This is a fantastic video. Kayla is giving very sage advice. And it doesn't just apply to IF - it could be applied to so many aspects of life. IF will help you lose weight and if you want to stick to a diet during the eating window, IF WILL unlock the power of that diet. But make it easy and simple on yourself. Find what works for you within the IF framework. That's the key to longevity, and ultimately, permanent success.

I needed this video!! I happily do OMAD everyday, I enjoy it and it suits me. But then I started watching KZbin videos on why OMAD isn't enough, that you should be doing Keto as well, no carbs, to drink apple cider vinegar etc, etc. I then tired to do all that and ended up just been really miserable and because I found it hard doing keto and did not enjoy it at all, so i ended up giving it all up, even doing OMAD! I watched this video and realised, me doing my own thing (OMAD and eating all the carbs I want in that hour) was enough and I enjoyed it. So thank you! Xxx

[@barbarabowen5627]

Very Good ! I Needed that information VERY Helpfull helpful was encouraged,

[@SixMilesToSupper]

Yay! I'm so glad you were encouraged!

[@meenatnari4356]

this is your best video and i watched lots of videos all over the years. because this message is the most powerful in all our hard life. to be succsessful you need to make it easy to be constantly:-):-):-)

[@SixMilesToSupper]

Thanks for those kind words!

[@ereed]

You know what? This is GREAT advice!!

[@ravichandar5426]

Good video. This is the last video on IF that I have seen. And just be comfortable on myself

[@cfauria9171]

Thank you Kayla. I love how you break down IF in easy language. I subscribed to an IF online course in 2022 for $197 US dollars. it was 4 week program. It was great. Have you considered giving an online course?

[@cornelvisser8160]

Thank you for giving this really good advice. Focus on what you have to do and then do it. Constantly researching for the same thing stops you from starting what you have to do immediately.

[@SixMilesToSupper]

You're so welcome! Thank you for watching.

[@mrmilonamaste]

Thanks for this video. I’m currently in the bubbles of research and need to just start. I’m going to take your advice and start small. And work my way up. Makes a lot of sense to lose weight over a longer time to form a habit. It took a long time to gain and should take some time to lose. Thanks.

[@Kim-kj7zc]

Have been doing this for just over two weeks & have lost 11 pounds & change. Surprised at how well this works for me. Information overload is a totally true statement. No 2 "experts" have the same information so it can be confusing. You're right- Just keep it simple and it will work. And I use a fitbit charge 3 to help encourage me to move more & track my weight & sleep.

[@nehamahajan794]

Kim Morrison are you doing 16:8 ?

[@Kim-kj7zc]

@@nehamahajan794 Mostly doing that. Sometimes I'm just not hungry until the 19-20hr, or even longer. I'm eating smaller amounts (getting full faster). I cut out the sugar and eating low carb. 0-10 grams a day.

[@Kim-kj7zc]

@@nehamahajan794 I should clarify the low carb & no sugar is because my dr recommended it due to bloodwork results.

[@SixMilesToSupper]

Way to go on dropping 11 pounds already! Continue on the simple path! (: I hope you'll keep me updated on how it goes for you!

[@Kim-kj7zc]

@@SixMilesToSupper will do!

[@Dupi_Cogan]

Kayla, your advice on going info/research free is very timely for me. I am totally overthinking this at Month 7. I am faithfully OMAD but struggling with meal choices. Keto/anything/Carnivore/Carnivish/and on and on. 🤪

[@wandab3843]

I really needed this video today.

[@SixMilesToSupper]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@judithallen4630]

What a God send your channel has been finding it tonight!! I’m not even what they consider obese but I’ve put on some stomach fat and I’m small and so really want to lose this and for the first time in my life I’ve felt like IF could work (been tying unsustainable diets last couple years). But watching all the videos made it confusing for me!! Do I have to do Keto? How long a window? Are carbs really bad now? How do I get my calories in? Is my metabolism going to slow down? You have give me such an ease to start doing this the EASIEST WAY POSSIBLE. I was praying to Jesus to help me do this and IF is the only consistent thing I feel he is showing me :) thank you so much for being an answer to my prayers ❤️

[@bl9531]

Thx vm, wise words - as you say, the key is to think about changes that you can adopt for the rest of your life - keep it simple and start slowly

[@richardkrug6855]

What helps me with IF? I do my fast from 10am to 6pm. I want to go to bed on an empty stomach because it's harder to fall asleep on a full stomach. Remembering this makes it easier for me to stop eating no later than 6pm because I want to have a good sleep. Then in the morning, I put myself into a state of gratitude knowing that I no longer believe I have to eat first thing in the morning, but rather, that I am free to immediately start getting things done that I need to do that day. Life is so much easier this way. Preparing food first thing in the morning is a hassle and a waste of time. I am not a slave to three meals a day; I am a free man. I love your suggestion to do an information fast. At some point a person just has to stop trying to dig deeper and just do it. The basics are pretty easy to understand, and too much information can be a distraction.

[@michelleb8337]

Thanks Kayla, I really needed to hear this, I’m always trying to look for ways to lose weight as fast as possible ,and then i end up really discouraged because I can’t sustain such a strict lifestyle. I’m gonna try to be okay w slower weight loss!!

[@michelevolz7769]

Great info!!!! Getting ready to start!

[@Kloboshtok27]

I went for IF 8 weeks back , haven't felt better all over my life, I was losing weight slowly but was happy about it as mentally I feel great, was thinking to make it harder and try applying 36 hr or more till I found your channel! Yoir advice is so valuable , I turned to think now why u should do this , make it easy and it will not harm to lose weight in few more months other than losing it now as simply I want to be on IF for all my life with exceptions for sure , I am in my 30th and I feel I took the right decision for my health till I get old and die, I want my life journey to be healthy. Thank you for this advice , with love to you and your family and kids..
